With the IRD more focussed than ever on tax credits and the new IR1261 being a trigger for audit/ reviews , it is more important than ever to ensure reporting is correct.

In this webinar, we explore the Double Tax Agreements, reviewing the limitations and implications with practical examples.   As Australia is New Zealand’s closest trading partner, we will review this agreement in more depth in relation to businesses operating between Australia and New Zealand.

We consider:

• Common situations where the DTA applies
• Differences in interpretation between the two jurisdictions

Upon satisfactory completion you will be able to:

• Apply a DTA generally;
• Apply the resident and permanent establishment tests in common situation
• Understand where differences in interpretation may arise, and some strategies to mitigate this
• Apply tax credit limitations correctly

Suited to accountants and advisors working with:

• Taxpayers holding investments offshore
• Taxpayers seeking to relocate particularly those relocating to Australia from New Zealand or to New Zealand from Australia
• Taxpayers seeking to expand business operations into Australia from New Zealand or vice versa
• Investors with Australian investments
